Jim is an Osage Native American rancher and former oil "wildcatter" who has become a dear member of the Sage Hawk family. Jim was one of Sage Hawk's very first financial sponsors. He succeeds our former president, Connor Gilchrist who did an outstanding job since Sage Hawk was founded back in 2016.  Jim is the owner of The Lodge at Taylor Ranch just outside Pawhuska, Oklahoma, home to two of Oklahoma's premiere disc golf courses. The Taylor family ranch is a place where families can come and enjoy the great outdoors with weddings, parties, disc golf tournaments, retreats, Boy Scout camp-outs, fishing derbies, rustic cabins and RV parking.  Jim is also blessed with a huge family.  As a sign in his driveway reads, "Come once and you're a visitor - Come twice and you're family".
